Table 1 Comparison of the fracture distribution and demographic data between patients with isolated pelvic fracture (group A) and combined spine/pelvic injury (group B). Values are shown as n (%) or as the mean ± standard deviation [range]; the data of ISS (Injury Severity Score) are the median values
